MORRIS POLLAK, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO LINCOLN, TIFFT Su OO., OF SAME PLACE.

NECK CR BRACELET Cl-iAlN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 262,115, dated August 1, 1882,

Application filed Juno 16. 1882.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, MORRIS POLLAK, ofthe eity and State ot' New York, have invented an Improvement in Neck or Bracelet Chains, ot' which the following is a specification.

Ohains have been made of numerous rings or rollers,77 as they are usually termed, laid together in alternate positions with transverse wires passing through the rollers, the transverse wires being soldered at their ends to outside rings. This involves considerable eX- pense in soldering. In other instances the transverse wires have been in the form of staples passed across the ehain, and the ends twisted together and received into hollow eylindrieal links.

My invention is made for lessening the cost ofconstruction, for avoidingthe soldering, and t'er allowing the chain to be taken apartor put together with facility.

In the drawings, Figure l is a view of the chain with part in section, and Fig. 2 is au edgewise view. Fig. 3 is a perspective view ofthe wires and ring united.

The links or rollers (t t are ot' the ordinary character. Usually they are circular; but

they inay he elliptical or ot any other suitable forni. I have represented the parts in a magnied size for greater clearness.

l) b are the transverse wires, passing through the rollers or links at one edge or end of one and through the next roller at the other edge or end. Thusthe rollersor links alternate and (No model.)

verse wire has an eye at each end around the edge rings, and there are two of these transverse wires and two of the rings c, united together, as seen in the separate perspective view, Fig. 3. This manner of connecting the ends of the transverse wires gives a llexibility to the chain that is superior to that of the chains heretofore made, and the chain is equally strong, the expense of soldering is avoided, and the chain can be taken apart or repaired more easily than heretofore. Vhere the ends of the wires Z) are bent into an open eye or hook, they will hold respective edge rings or links, c, securely, because the edges ofthe rollers or links touch each other and the ehain can` not be compressed widthwise. Hence the links e Cannot be unhooked from the transverse wires.

I am aware that strips of metal have been passed through the rollers or links, and that in soine instances heads have been made on these strips, and in other instances washerplates have been formed with the metal strips. Ihese render the chain more rigid than mine, and the edges of the chain are not alike.

I elaiin as iny invention- In a neck or bracelet chain, the links or rollers t and the transverse wires that connect the links, each transverse wire being bent at both ends to form an eye or hook, in combination with the edge links, c, that are received into said eyes or hooks, substantially as set forth.
